Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 593: The Mutation in the Luo Throat Demon Abyss

Azure Lotus Great World, Qianfeng Giant Land.

Su Yuan, a young man, sat by a clear river. In front of him, a pile of bonfire was burning. On a simple bamboo rack were three two-foot-long, clean white river fish and an unusually fat rabbit. The tender rabbit meat was gradually turning golden under the flames, and a large amount of fragrant oil was slowly seeping out.

On the other side of the bonfire, there sat a girl in a red dress, around eleven or twelve years old, with bright eyes and white teeth. She held her face in her hands, staring eagerly at the food on the rack, secretly salivating.

The clothes worn by the siblings were made of ordinary cotton fabric, without any extra decorations, indicating that they came from an ordinary family. However, their appearances were quite good, with well-defined facial features and well-proportioned bodies. Their eyes were exceptionally bright.

If a high-level cultivator passed by, it would not be difficult to see that they both had a certain potential for cultivation. If they were to join a certain influential sect in the future and be guided by a famous teacher, they might achieve something.

"...This world is truly magnificent and abundant, much better than the previous one."

Su Yuan gazed at the lonely and distant blue sky for a while, then refocused his attention on the grill in front of him, carefully flipping the food to ensure even heating.

"Brother, is it ready yet?"

Smelling the aroma of the roasted meat, the little girl urged impatiently.

"It'll be ready soon, just wait a little longer!"

Su Yuan smiled and took out a cloth bag he carried with him. Inside were grains of salt and several seasonings. He skillfully busied himself with them.

After a while, Su Yuan wrapped a well-cooked fish in a lotus leaf and handed it to the little girl. With a smile on her face, she couldn't wait to devour it, even if it burned her mouth.

Su Yuan took the roasted rabbit and was about to take a bite of a fragrant and steaming hind leg when his movement suddenly stopped.

Beside him, a purple-clothed beautiful young man appeared out of nowhere. His lips were red, his teeth were white, and he had a perfect appearance. With his hands behind his back, he calmly observed the siblings.

"I wonder... where does this immortal come from?"

Su Yuan felt his scalp tingling and his expression instinctively became respectful as he cautiously asked.

The mysterious and profound aura emanating from the other party was not something an ordinary person could possess. Even the cultivators Su Yuan had seen before were far inferior.

"Just passing by, enjoying a little outing," Qin Muling smiled. "This roasted meat looks good. Give me a piece to taste, shall we?"

"Sure, sure!" Su Yuan nodded eagerly and handed the untouched rabbit leg to Qin Muling.

Qin Muling took a bite, savoring the tender and delicate meat mixed with coarse salt grains and a strong smoky flavor. It brought a touch of nostalgia to his eyes.

Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten such down-to-earth food for many years. It should have been in his previous life...

Since he arrived in this world and took on human form, he had been held in high regard by his master and senior sisters, receiving all kinds of love and the best treatment.

"Immortal..." Su Yuan called out anxiously when he saw Qin Muling remain silent.

Qin Muling came back to his senses and smiled faintly. "This meat is really good, but it would be even better with some wine."

As he spoke, a foot-tall white jade wine gourd appeared in his hand, followed by three jade wine cups.

"Give it a try. It was a gift from my eldest senior sister, so the taste should be excellent."

Qin Muling poured a cup for each of the siblings.

Although the medicinal power of this spirit wine was somewhat terrifying, even cultivators below the Golden Immortal level might not be able to withstand it. However, with Qin Muling secretly supporting them, they would not have any problems.

Su Yuan thanked him and took a careful sip. He felt that the wine was sweet and pleasant, surpassing all the delicious flavors he had tasted before. Every pore in his body felt refreshed and comfortable.

"Immortal, this wine is really delicious. Can I have another cup?"

After the little girl across from him finished her cup in one gulp, she blinked her big, shiny eyes and asked expectantly.

"Of course."

Qin Muling handed her the wine gourd and let her drink as much as she wanted.

Su Yuan looked at Qin Muling, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"No need to be restrained. It's rare to go out and have some fun. Just relax," Qin Muling smiled. "It seems like you two have recently moved here? Which Great World are you from?"

Su Yuan pondered and said, "It seems to be called Lei Yin Great World. Several years ago, a group of monks visited our village and took almost half of the villagers to a floating Buddhist temple in the sky. We slept inside and when we woke up, we were here!"

"I see," Qin Muling nodded gently. "Are you accustomed to living here? Did those cultivators cause any trouble for you?"

Su Yuan replied, "Not really. The immortals treated us kindly, and the spiritual environment here is much better than our hometown. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to live longer."

They were ordinary people who had recently migrated from Lei Yin Great World, escorted by cultivators from the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court. They were provided with land, houses, cloth, farming tools, and other resources for survival, as well as basic cultivation techniques.

As selected immigrants from the Earth Level Great World, they had excellent qualities in all aspects. As long as the transmission of cultivation techniques and the supply of resources kept up, they would have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

According to the planning of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, these ordinary people lived in villages, with one thousand households forming a settlement. Each household received three hundred acres of land for free, and one-tenth of the annual output needed to be handed over to the local government, while the rest could be used at their discretion.

Due to the abundant spiritual energy and exceptionally fertile soil in this world, it could rival the high-quality Spirit Fields in lower-level Great Worlds. Therefore, various crops were highly productive, able to survive by simply sowing seeds. Not only was the weather favorable, but there were also no pests or diseases, so there was no need for excessive care.

Especially for young adults with basic Qi Refining skills, taking care of hundreds of acres of land was not considered hard work. They could easily handle even more.

Due to low taxes and no exploitation or oppression from other forces, the lives of the ordinary people were quite prosperous.

Qin Muling asked, "Have you practiced any Qi Refining techniques? I can see that both of you have a good foundation and some potential. If you work hard in cultivation, you can at least become inner disciples of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court. There is even hope of becoming true disciples."

Su Yuan smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "We have seen some entry-level techniques, but the expenses for cultivators are enormous. We are afraid we cannot afford them unless the envoys of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court are willing to support us."

There was a dedicated private school in the village where all eligible children, regardless of gender, could attend classes for free. They not only learned literacy but also basic cultivation techniques and body-strengthening methods.

Therefore, Su Yuan and his sister knew some basic Divine Ability spells, but the best way to embark on the path of cultivation and become true cultivators was to be recognized by the envoys of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, which could truly change their destiny.

Qin Muling pondered and said, "The envoys may not come often, but as long as your aptitude is outstanding, you can go to the local government's school for further education for free. If you pass the selection and assessments, you will definitely enter the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court."

Su Yuan nodded, "That's our plan. Our parents at home also don't object. We hope that our wishes can come true in the future!"

Qin Muling looked around. Villages had mushroomed on the vast plains, and the surrounding fields were extremely fertile. Irrigation facilities such as ditches and dams were well-arranged.

According to the planning of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court, once fifty villages were gathered, a small town would be established in a suitable area, with a mayor, officials, and a guard team. The town could accommodate around twenty thousand households, and there would be no shortage of various industries and livelihoods that affected the people's livelihood.

Once fifty small towns were gathered, a county would be established, with a county magistrate, a complete set of officials, yamen staff, and a certain number of stationed troops. The population would reach three hundred thousand households, and the county would prosper with various industries.

Once the number of county towns exceeds fifty, a prefectural city will be established, with a prefect and a complete administrative team. There will be a garrison of one hundred thousand troops, as well as a certain number of cultivators stationed to maintain order. The population will be around five million households.

Above the prefectural level, there are the states. Each state governs twenty counties, and the total population is around thirty million households.

Above the states are the secular dynasties. Currently, the size of a dynasty's territory can vary, with anywhere from dozens to hundreds of state capitals. The boundaries are determined by the elders of the Immortal Dynasty after considering the geographical situation.

Given the vastness of the Azure Lotus Great World, there will definitely be hundreds or even more secular dynasties and empires coexisting on a huge landmass in the future.

These dynasties and empires are allowed to conquer and merge with each other, but the slaughter of civilians is strictly prohibited, otherwise they will be heavily punished by the Immortal Dynasty.

Due to the limited population of the Azure Lotus Great World at present, it is far from enough to fill a huge landmass. It will take hundreds or even thousands of years for the population to grow to a sufficiently large scale and for the borders of different dynasties and empires to be adjacent to each other before large-scale national wars occur.

From the perspective of mortals, if their aptitude is not suitable for cultivation, they can also try the imperial examination route to become officials. They will also have the opportunity to rise step by step and enjoy wealth and glory.

"Meeting is fate," Qin Muling withdrew his thoughts and said to the two siblings in front of him, "If you are interested, I can directly grant you an empire and let you experience what it's like to be an emperor."

Su Yuan's face changed slightly. Although he didn't know the identity and background of the purple-clothed beautiful youth in front of him, his intuition told him that the other party was not bluffing and had the ability to fulfill his promise at any time.

"Well... it's better not to, right?" Su Yuan swallowed his saliva, his tone somewhat dry. As long as he was willing, he could immediately go from an ordinary mortal to the ruler of a country, enjoying endless wealth and glory. This kind of temptation was not easy to refuse.

However, after a difficult struggle, Su Yuan still followed his heart and chose to refuse this heaven-sent opportunity. He still felt that he was more suitable for the path of cultivation. After all, the various enjoyments of an emperor, no matter how wonderful and comfortable, were limited by lifespan. When the time came, he couldn't take any benefits with him.

"I'll listen to my big brother." The girl in the red dress focused on dealing with the fresh fish in front of her, not even lifting her head as she spoke.

Qin Muling couldn't help but smile. "Alright then, both of you have good character. I will inform them later that you should cultivate well, and you will definitely enter the Immortal Dynasty in the future."

"Thank you, Immortal Elder."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. With this promise, the future of himself and his sister was obviously guaranteed.

Qin Muling quickly finished eating a rabbit leg, and Su Yuan immediately took down the whole rabbit and handed it over to him, which he did not refuse.

Su Yuan's gaze swept around, regretting why he didn't prepare more game. This immortal elder obviously had a good appetite, so he had to let him eat his fill.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of prey here!" Qin Muling laughed and without any visible movement, large splashes of water suddenly erupted from the river several dozen steps away. Dozens of large fish, each measuring two to three feet long and exceptionally plump, flew out of the water.

Then, further in the hills and trees, the earth surged and more than twenty large rabbits, wild boars, and deer were dragged over by an invisible force.

Following that, dozens of huge birds fell from the sky and neatly piled up around Su Yuan.

"Wow, so much delicious food?" The little girl in the red dress exclaimed with excitement.

Su Yuan looked at the tools in his hand and couldn't help but hesitate. He couldn't handle so much prey by himself.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Qin Muling said dismissively. With a slight movement of her divine sense, all the prey floated up, their fur and scales falling off. They were gutted and dismembered, and within ten breaths, everything was done.

Then, a spiritual flame appeared under each prey, roasting them fiercely.

By the time the prey emitted a tempting aroma, it hadn't even been half an incense stick's worth of time.

The little girl in the red dress took a shiny and slippery mountain chicken and took a bite. She discovered that the salt and seasoning had already been added, and the meat was tender and melted in her mouth. The taste was so delicious that she almost wanted to swallow her own tongue.

"It's so delicious, I wish I could eat this every day!" The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement as she dug into her meal.

"Immortal, aren't you... in a high position in the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court?" Su Yuan stared in astonishment and hesitated for a while before asking. He had never heard of such divine abilities before.

"Sort of!" Qin Muling smiled and said, "But I don't like to handle things. I always prefer to go out and wander around. They handle all the big and small matters for me."

"I see." Su Yuan nodded as if he understood.

In fact, this was no secret among the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court. However, at the level of the two siblings, they obviously couldn't know such things.

Qin Muling also took a few feet long fat fish and enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth fish meat.

Due to the extremely abundant spiritual energy in this place, the birds and beasts here not only had large bodies, but their meat was also tender and delicious. It could even be considered on par with Spirit Beast meat in those lower-grade Great Worlds.

As they ate and chatted, Su Yuan noticed something strange. The spirit wine and nectar in the white jade gourd seemed to pour endlessly, no matter how much they drank.

Unconsciously, Su Yuan's mind began to feel dizzy, and he didn't know when he fell asleep and collapsed on the ground.

He didn't know how long had passed.

"Brother, wake up..." In a daze, Su Yuan felt a familiar voice calling him, and a pair of small hands kept pushing and shoving him.

"What time is it?" Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes and found himself still lying by the bonfire. His little sister was looking at him with concern.

"I don't know, it doesn't seem like it's been long, right?" The little girl in the red dress said, as she had just woken up as well.

"What about that immortal?"

"I didn't see him, he probably left a long time ago!"

"Oh, alright! We should go back too."

Su Yuan looked around and besides the scattered bones, fur, and skin on the ground, there were no other traces left.

He stood up and was surprised to find that he felt unexpectedly good. He had an inexhaustible amount of strength throughout his body, and his divine sense and five senses were unusually sharp. It felt somewhat similar to what the elders had mentioned about the marrow-cleansing and rebirth in the Book of Changes.

Of course, the siblings didn't know that their foundation, innate talent, and destiny had been optimized and enhanced by Qin Muling, equivalent to the level of a monstrous genius seed in the Azure Lotus Great World.

"Remember, don't mention this to anyone when we go back."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and solemnly instructed his sister.

The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "Can't I tell my parents and younger brother?"

Su Yuan pondered and said, "There's no need to say for now. Let's wait until we enter the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court in the future."

The little girl nodded as if she understood, always listening to her older brother.

...

"...They are really lucky kids!"

"Yes, meeting the little junior brother is a rare opportunity that others may not have in a thousand lifetimes."

"As long as they can control themselves and cultivate well, they will definitely become a Quasi-Saint Emperor in the future."

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen the little junior brother traveling among the mortals and guiding them..."

In mid-air, in the invisible palace, Xue Bingxuan, Qi Yalan, and Yu Lingzhou observed the whole process and discussed it with laughter.

Qin Muling, under the strict protection of her senior sisters in the past, was busy cultivating and had no chance to go out freely.

Only after achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint, when there were no more safety concerns, did she have the opportunity to travel incognito and explore the myriad worlds.

"Alright, let's go back. We'll probably have more things to do next!"

Qin Muling's figure appeared among them unnoticed, her expression serious.

"Has the situation in the Heavenly World changed? Do we need to intervene in advance?" Emperor Feng Ge asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's almost like that. We need to be prepared to take action," Qin Muling said.

...

Heavenly World, the Luo Throat Demon Abyss.

On the vast and boundless land, countless blood-colored thunderbolts poured down like a storm, extending to the end of the field of vision, obliterating everything in their path.

Countless rainbow lights swirled like water ripples, and as long as the countless Luo Throat Demon Race were touched by them, their powerful bodies would quietly dissolve into puddles of blood.

At this point, the saintly giants no longer held back, using all their hidden divine abilities and their treasured weapons. Often, with a single strike, millions of miles of land turned into scorched earth, causing unimaginable casualties to these creatures.

However, the attacks from the Luo Throat Demon Race were equally fierce and relentless, wave after wave, causing great losses to the army of cultivators defending the area.

After a day of battle, millions of high-level cultivators were killed, their souls completely destroyed. The remaining cultivators, whose bodies or souls were severely damaged, had to enter seclusion to heal, their numbers several times greater than before.

"...Fellow Daoist Song Yun, are you alright?"

"Cough... I'm fine, I can't die for now!"

In mid-air, the current Song Yun, the Saint Venerable, had a pale face, weak aura, and his robes were tattered, with multiple injuries.

In the previous wave of attacks by the Luo Throat Demon Race, this Song Yun, the Saint Venerable, was ambushed and besieged by a group of mysterious high-level Demon Race. They fought fiercely for a while, and although he eventually killed them, he was seriously injured.

The attacks of the high-level Luo Throat Demon Race were extremely vicious, even the saintly giants found it difficult to withstand, resulting in a slow healing process for their injuries.

At this point in the battle, half of the giants present were injured and unable to recover in a short period of time, severely weakening their combat power.

The Saint Venerable Yulong's expression was solemn. "Why do I feel that the attacks from these creatures are rapidly increasing in strength? Not only is their speed beyond our expectations, but there also seems to be some unimaginable and terrifying threat approaching?"

"That's true," agreed the Saint Venerable Danyang. "It seems that their high-level decision-makers have decided to reinforce their troops, so the pressure we face will increase further."

Many important figures remained silent. Although they had anticipated this day, they didn't expect it to come so soon.

If there were no miracles, these giants would likely meet their end here.

The Saint Venerable Muqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Why hasn't World Creating Azure Lotus arrived yet? What are Qingxuan and Zixuan doing in the mortal realm? Don't they understand that the situation is becoming more and more critical?"

When this matter was mentioned, the important figures were all somewhat angry. They were struggling here, while World Creating Azure Lotus was still enjoying themselves in the mortal realm. It was truly infuriating!

Even if World Creating Azure Lotus eventually defeated the Luo Throat Demon Race, what would be the point if they were already finished?

"Fellow Daoists, I seem to have received some bad news," a hidden powerhouse said with a gloomy tone. "Those two women... seem to have pledged themselves to World Creating Azure Lotus and are secretly transferring their disciples and followers to the mortal realm! Are they planning to betray us?"

"...Is that true?"

The important figures were suddenly filled with shock and anger.
